The Seattle Sounders will try to get their first points of the MLS season when they host the LA Galaxy of Mexico's Javier Hernández. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

Mexico's Javier Hernandez wants to continue to be the star of the team and has already scored a late goal in the championship, with the goal of one day being called up to the Mexican national team.

The arrival of the Brazilian João Paulo a few seasons ago was a great move for the team, as he is the balance point in the midfield and also has the ability to get into the opponent's area.

With two agonizing victories in their opening matches against champions NYC FC and newcomers Charlotte FC, the LA Galaxy will look to continue their winning ways and keep their record intact as they have done through the first 180 minutes.

Incredibly, the Seattle Sounders, one of the favorites to fight for the MLS title, have started off on the wrong foot this season with two defeats against Nashville and Real Salt Lake by 1-0, which is why they will be looking for their first points; remembering that in the middle of the week they will pay the return leg against Leon in the Concachampions.

The Seattle Sounders vs LA Galaxy match will be played at the Lumen Field, in Seattle, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 3:40 pm ET.
